Windows Authentication in ASP.NET

Question

is there any way to use windows authentication in ASP.NET without needing a windows account? I need a virtual directory to be passworded using the browser authentication prompt.

Are you trying to set up a route in your RouteCollection to be secured with authentication, or are you trying to set up a virtual directory in IIS with something like Basic Authentication? — Agent_9191

If you're using Windows Authentication, you need a Windows account to authenticate against.

If you're up for the challenge, you can set your application up to use ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode). It'll give you way to have accounts that are application specific rather than Domain Wide.
